told me that never any where had she
seen such eagerness for knowledge,
for study and for books as she saw
among the Greeks. A book was more
attractive to Greek boy or girl than
any play. She said little girls seldom
played with dolls, and she told me an
anecdote of little girl whom she had
in measure adopted. Some one gave
her pretty doll on Christmas. She
accepted the present graciously, but
asked: .But what shall do with itP''
She said Greek children loved to
90 10 school above all children she
had ever seen. A Greek child could
not be kept away from school,
except by some very strong
reason. and no gift or privilege could,
with Greek child. equal that OF being
sent to school. In one of the public
schools in Athens there were at the last
numbering 1900 pupils There are
also many private schools. There are

Greek Government required the cathe-

The people in looks more resemble

drawers, very shapely, and shoes with
long pointed toes that turn up little

rosette or pom-pom at the point Over
this is worn an embroidered tunic or
Jacket, sometimes very handsome. On
his head a Greek of the old school
wears the soft Greek cap. not a fez,
with long silk tassel falling down on

The Bones Of Marshal Ney.

Sensational reports have been sent
from Salisbury. N. c., that the remains
of the famous Marshal Ney, who COM
manded the Old Guard at Waterloo, lie
buried in the soil of that State. 1t is
said that man named Peter S. Ney
came to North Carolina in 1916 and
died there. Many of his old friends
insist that this man was Marshal Ney.
It was said that Ney's skull had been
trephlned, and an examination OF the
remains would prove eonclusively that
the remains were his. The remains
were disinterred and found to have
crumbled into dust, and it was lmpos-
sible to ascertain whether or not the
skull had been trephined. -GscGgf

BEN'S ROOM.

A Hint to Girl Readers Who Would Help

And Belle, feeling that she was tread

turned the conversation. Yes, she
knew that Ben was different from her
brother, and, oh. how thankful she felt
for that difference-thankfu that Frank
was strong and manly, kept above
temptation-sorry for the great con-
trast in her friend.
You must all do something to try
to keep Ben at home these evenings,
said his father one day. Il don't like

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
AN EXCELLENT REASON.

Whatever the boy might be about,
At work or idle, in doors or out,
Summer and autumn, winter and spring,
Whenever he had a chance to sing,
He'd raise the tune that he loved the best.
And as If it were 'sby special request"
Would keep 1t up in the air so long
That all were sick Of the old, old song.
It wasn't much Of q tune, tits true, &
And where he'd heard it nobody knew,
And you'd never have thought for single
minute
It came from nightingale or linnet;
But Bob sang on as well as he could,
And it seemed to do the poor fellow good,
And pleased expression the singer wore
When the crows in the cornfield cried
''Encorel''
One day, as Bob was strolling along,
Cheerfully singing his fav'rite song,
He met maid with eyes Of blue.
Who paused, with pretty "How dye dor
Then said, with sweet and roguish smile
."What makes you sing one tune all the
while?'
Said Bob, in voice that was strangely low
Because it's the only one I know"
